L’objectif du projet est de tester l’adaptation de la forme des fleurs de l’Impatiente du cap aux milieux urbains à l’aide d’une expérience de type jardin commun. Des plants de l’Impatiente du cap provenant de 16 populations de 4 villes canadiennes différentes seront étudiées: Toronto, Ottawa, Montréal et Québec. Dans chaque ville, les graines de […]

The research project seeks to understand why some regional governments (the governmental level below central states) are more internationally active than others, a phenomenon known as paradiplomacy. I hypothesize this variation is influenced by the presence/absence of a patron state. A patron state is a foreign state which acts as an advocate of a region’s […]

The project’s aim is to develop SlicerAR, free open-source software infrastructure for rendering native scenes (medical images, anatomical structures, etc.) on the augmented reality devices within the 3D Slicer (www.slicer.org) medical image analysis platform, to allow end-user applications to display anatomical models overlaid on the real-world view.

Food freshness is an essential consideration for food quality control and consumer acceptance, especially for fish and related products which are highly perishable due to their special biological and physicochemical characteristics. Conventional methods to detect fish spoilage are generally not suitable for on-site application due to the complexity of procedures and high testing requirements. Thus, […]

Network parameter configuration is crucial for optimizing performance in a cellular network. Often, such parameters are too numerous and their interdependence too complicated for them to be efficiently configured by human experts. Therefore, it is of great interest to study network parameter configuration as a machine learning problem. We aim to expand on the machine […]

Understanding and predicting brain activity is the main objective of computational neuroscience. Neuronal cells are the building blocks of the brain and responsible for electrical signaling and cognitive ability. Recent studies indicate that another cell type, called astrocyte, plays an important role as well. These cells have been proposed to interact with neurons and modulate […]

Plasmonic catalysis is an emerging technology which holds the promise of utilizing light to facilitate a chemical transformation. Plasmonic materials interact with incident light through the excitation of localized surface plasmon resonance producing highly energetic electron-hole pairs. These hot electrons and holes are very active and get adsorbed to the materials in their surroundings through […]

The project investigates the transformation of anonymity in times of networked-data by looking into the history of urban neighborhood design and its relation to neighborhood-related machine learning algorithms, such as k-nearest-neighbor (KNN). This method analyzes behavioral patterns to form groups (neighborhoods) of actors with the same characteristics (neighbors). This groupingis then deployed to understand and […]

L’objectif de ce projet est de comprendre comment un mouvement social comme le mouvement étudiant tunisien, ne bénéficiant ni de financement public ni d’inclusion formelle dans les organes de décision, parvient à transformer un tant soit peu l’espace social dans lequel il s’implique, c’est-à-dire l’université. Il suffit pour s’en convaincre de se rappeler les multiples […]

La voie Hippo est une voie de signalisation intra-cellulaire régulant différents processus tels que la prolifération et la différentiation cellulaire. Il a été démontré que la voie Hippo est impliquée dans le développement et la physiologie de l’utérus chez différentes espèces, dont la souris. Ses rôles dans la physiologie utérine bovine sont toutefois méconnus. De […]

Ce projet de recherche s’articule autour des enjeux e?thiques de l’acte de lecture et des questions esthe?tiques pose?es par la mise en sce?ne de l’effacement de la voix narrative dans le roman contemporain. Dans les œuvres de Laurent Mauvignier Des hommes (2009) et Ce que j’appelle oubli (2011), cet effacement rend le texte immersif et […]

Hybrid organic–inorganic halide perovskites nanocrystals (HPNCs), such as CH3NH3PbX3 (X = Cl, Br, I), have recently experienced extraordinary development in optoelectronic applications due to their promising optical and electrical properties. Although most investigations have been mainly focused on improving and optimizing photovoltaics, light-emitting diodes, and photodetectors efficiencies of HPNCs, there is great interest and potential […]
